Toilet Back up in Restaurant

Whether it be from a municipal sewage backup, a clogged and overflowing toilet or a septic system failure that causes a backup, sewage water is considered to be Category 3, or black, water.  Category 3 water is contaminated, can cause severe illness or death if ingested and any contact with it should be avoided.  Examples of black water includes water that originates beyond the toilet trap and standing water that has begun to support microbial growth.  A sewage backup should always be taken seriously due to the potential viruses, bacteria and harmful microbes it may contain. 

If you have water damage from sewage in your home, a plumber should be called as well as a professional restoration company that specializes in restoring water damaged properties and has the training needed to clean up black water properly. When faced with a sewage damage disaster, never enter the damaged area without proper protective equipment, rubber boots, gloves, goggles and complete body cover. Do not try to clean up and repair area yourself.
